Montgomery on a Roll

[user22113]

Scott Montgomery, who finished fifth in the LA Poker Classic, is racking up pots. First he took a big one from Dustin Woolf, then he eliminated a player with A-J versus the player's A-K, spiking a jack on the flop.

He's up to 413,000.

Fo' Shorr

[user66118]

From the looks of things, we have ourselves a new chip leader once again.

Shannon Shorr and Phil Collins (not the Phil Collins) just became involved in a massive pot.

Collins put in a preflop raise, making it 15,000 to go. Shorr obliged him with the call, and the flop brought {4-Clubs}

. Shorr bet out 21,000, and Collins pumped it up to 62,000. Shorr made his move, pushing all in to cover the other player, close to 190,000 total.

Collins made the call with a set, {3-Hearts}

, and Shorr showed down {K-Clubs}

.

The club flush got there on the turn for Shorr, as the {Q-Clubs}

put Collins behind, needing the board to pair to stay alive.

No such luck though, as the river {9-Hearts}

was a complete brick.

After raking in that monster pot, Shannon Shorr is our new leader with 460,000. While writing this, he has chipped up further to a whopping 510,000.

Can Anyone Stop Theo?

[user22113]

Theo Tran is on a roll after raking in a massive pot by smooth-calling with kings — again.

After a player raised preflop to 20,000, Tran and Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf called.

The flop was J-10-7 and Tran and Woolf checked to the player, who shoved more than 150,000.

Woolf folded and Tran called showing kings. His opponent had K-J and the board bricked out.

Theo has around 600,000.

Manny Being Manny

[user66118]

Keith Carter raises from early position, making it 21,000 to skate. From the big blind, Manny Minaya puts in the call, and the two go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spreads the first three community cards: {3-Spades}

. Minaya checks, and Carter continues out with a bet of 40,000. Minaya makes the call.

The turn card is the {A-Clubs}

, and both players check.

Fifth street is the {9-Diamonds}

. Minaya leads out into the pot for 50,000. Carter debates his play for a brief moment before sliding his calling chips into the pot.

Minaya tables {A-Spades}

for two pair, and Carter flips his hand into the muck. Manny Minaya rakes in a nice pot, and chips up close to 400,000.

Montgomery Gets Cheap Showdown

[user22113]

Montgomery Runs Quads Into Straight Flush

Scott Montgomery is still alive in Event 7, but only just.

After facing a raise from Theo Tran under the gun to 21,000, Montgomery called from middle position.

Both players checked the flop of {4-Spades}

. Tran led for 28,000 on the turn of the {2-Spades}

. After some deliberation, Montgomery made the call and both players saw the river of the {3-Spades}

.

Once Tran made it 75,000 to go, Montgomery went deep into the tank before announcing, "This is sick, I'm putting you on a straight flush, but I can't fold!!" and threw in 75,000.

As Tran tabled {A-Spades}

Montgomery tabled his hand of {5-Clubs}

for flopped quads. As the table stood shocked at how he didn't go broke, Tran scooped the 260,000 pot and moved his stack up to 700,000 while Montgomery moved down to 305,000.
